Zhu Yuanzhang admitted that he had made a mistake.
He originally thought that Yao Guangxiao was just a monk who ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha.
Even if he had some ability, it was just a trick to chant scriptures and pray for blessings to make people happy.
He didn't expect Yao Guangxiao to be so ruthless.
Yao Guangxiao's proposal was simple. He wanted to drag the other vassal kings into the water.
They boarded the chariot of Zhu Di's rebellion together.
In this way, the vassal kings who were pulled into the chariot had no choice but to contribute to Zhu Di.
Because they had no choice.
Or they would be slowly weakened by Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Bai was a good example.
Or he could rebel and oust Zhu Yunwen, but he didn't have the ability.
In this way, if they did not want to wait for death, they could only obediently serve Zhu Di.
Moreover, he could not be lazy or half-hearted.
There was no turning back on the path of rebellion.
That was why Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Yao Guangxiao was very vicious.
If he was in the world, he would definitely send someone to get rid of such a person if he could not be used by him.
Because whoever Yao Guangxiao followed would be trouble for him.
However, this was a timeline that he could not interfere with.
As a spectator, Zhu Yuanzhang was also helpless.
The reason why Zhu Di's eyes lit up after hearing Yao Guangxiao's words was that Zhu Di had thought of an excellent helper.
This person was none other than his seventeenth brother, Prince Ning, Zhu Quan.
Among his brothers, Zhu Di was more afraid of anyone.
In the past, there was only one, and that was Prince Ning Zhu Quan.
However, when Zhu Di learned that his 18th brother would actually ask Zhu Yunwen to send 600,000 troops to attack, he was shocked.
There was one more person on Zhu Di's list of people he was afraid of, the King of Yue, Zhu Zhe.
Just like him, Zhu Quan, one of the Nine Great Fortress Kings, also held a large number of troops to guard the border.
Unlike him, this time Zhu Yunwen didn't take over Zhu Quan's military power.
Perhaps it was because Zhu Quan was too far away from Jinling, Zhu Yunwen didn't take it to heart.
Or perhaps Zhu Yunwen had already gathered 600,000 soldiers before he recalled Zhu Quan's soldiers.
In any case, even when most of the military power in the hands of the vassal kings had been taken back, Prince Ning, Zhu Quan, still had a large number of troops in his hands.
However, Zhu Di believed that Zhu Quan was no threat to Zhu Yunwen.
This was because Zhu Quan's fief was even further away than his. If Zhu Quan wanted to rebel, he would first have to break through this line of defense.
Zhu Di believed that this was the reason why Zhu Yunwen didn't attack Zhu Quan.
And Zhu Di's plan this time was to use his seventeenth brother's troops.
If he was able to obtain Zhu Quan's army, he would definitely be able to succeed this time.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di said to Yao Guangxiao,"
"According to what Sir said."
"Then this king can only borrow troops from one place.”
Yao Guangxiao smiled and said,
"Your Highness is talking about Ning Wang Zhu Quan?”
Zhu Di nodded and said,
"That's right. The only vassal state that hasn't been weakened is Prince Ning Zhu Quan.”
"So this king plans to borrow troops from Old Seventeen.”
"Back then, Imperial Father left a large number of soldiers for us brothers.”
"In order to prevent those foreign races from invading Great Ming.”
"Now that Zhu Yunwen has collected all the soldiers in the world, only Zhu Quan still has tens of thousands of elite soldiers.”
"If we want to follow Teacher's instructions and take the capital, then we can only borrow Zhu Quan's soldiers.”
Yao Guangxiao nodded and agreed with Zhu Di.
"Your Highness is right. Currently, only Prince Ning is not weakened.”
"This also made His Highness Ning Wang the target of public criticism.”
"When the Imperial Court returns to their senses, His Majesty will not let Ning Wang off.”
"It seems that Prince Ning also knows this principle.”
Zhu Di nodded and said,
"Sir is right."
"This king only hopes that seventeenth brother can understand the situation and not be stubborn.”
After saying that, Zhu Di changed the topic.
"There is no time to lose. This king will send a letter to my seventeenth brother and explain the pros and cons.”
"With Seventeenth Brother's intelligence, he wouldn't not understand this king's meaning.”
After Yao Guangxiao heard Zhu Di's words, he smiled and said,"
"Your Highness, please help yourself. This Penniless Monk will not disturb you.”
Zhu Di immediately returned to the study room, spread out the pen and paper, and personally ground the ink.
After thinking for a while, he wrote a secret letter. After writing it, Zhu Di called a guard over.
"Quickly send this letter to Prince Ning. You must personally hand it over to Prince Ning and not let others see it.”
After the guard received the letter, he rode out of the city and ran all the way to Prince Ning's fief.
Thanks to Zhu Di's swift and decisive actions, Beiping City no longer had any power from the imperial court.
Therefore, the matter of the personal guards leaving the city was done without anyone knowing.
Not long after, the personal guard arrived in front of Prince Ning.
Following Zhu Di's instructions, he personally handed the secret letter to Prince Ning Zhu Quan.
"This humble servant greets Your Highness Ning Wang. This is a secret letter that my Wangye asked this humble servant to send to Wangye.”
Zhu Quan had a look of surprise on his face when he heard this. Why was his fourth brother writing to him at this time?
However, even though he was surprised, Zhu Quan still received the letter and began to read it.
One wouldn't know if they didn't read it, but they were shocked when they read it. The contents of the letter were really shocking.
"Brother Quan's words are like his face."
"Brother is confined to Beiping and cannot have the opportunity to extend his influence.”
"Today, there is a traitor who deceives the holy hearing.”
"Brother wishes to follow Imperial Father's will to purge the side of the ruler and get rid of villains.”
"Return the bright and clear universe."
"Although Brother Ran is hot-blooded, he doesn't have any soldiers to use.”
"Brother Wenquan still has his soldiers."
"Therefore, I am writing this letter. I hope that Brother Quan will understand your intentions and will not be stingy with the soldiers in your hands.”
"For the sake of the country and the people of the world.”
"If brother can eliminate the traitors for the country, brother Quan will also contribute to the country.”
"Brother will definitely recommend Brother Quan in front of His Majesty.”
"Now that the army of the Imperial Court has been attracted by my eighteenth brother, the defenses of the capital are empty. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
"I hope that Brother Quan will not miss this opportunity to avoid making a mistake.”
"Brother, kowtow a hundred times."
After Zhu Quan finished reading Zhu Di's letter, he couldn't help but gasp.
Although the letter said that the monarch should eliminate villains and eliminate traitors for the country.
However, Zhu Quan understood the meaning behind his words.
His fourth brother was rebelling!
Not only did he want to rebel, but he also wanted to pull him along to rebel.
Zhu Quan could not help but laugh bitterly in his heart.
She knew very well what Zhu Yunwen wanted to do.
He didn't know why Zhu Yunwen hadn't done anything to him.
However, Zhu Quan understood that this day would come sooner or later.
Zhu Bai's death was like a nightmare that haunted him.
And this nightmare would become a reality sooner or later.
The military power in his hands would also be taken back by Zhu Yunwen.
What should he do then?
Was he going to commit suicide by throwing himself into fire like Zhu Bai?
Zhu Quan did not want his military authority to be weakened, and he did not want to die.
Just as she was fretting, Zhu Di's letter arrived.
He looked at Zhu Di's secret letter.
Zhu Quan knew that he had no other choice.
Unless he also rebelled.
Otherwise, it would be best for him to lend his fourth brother troops.
Because this was the best way out.
After the imperial court came back to their senses.
The military power in his hands would definitely be taken back by Zhu Yunwen.
At that time, he would be a fish on the chopping board. His life and death would not be up to him.
